Lord of the House: Chapter 35 fierce battle

Han Li led his troops eastward to Qimen, and the road was unbearable to be harassed. The more than 100 miles of river valleys and mountain roads actually walked for three days, and his patience was lost.

Entering the source of Changhe River, Han Li saw that the advance troops of Ganzhou had split up to defend Maanling outside the city, so he ordered his troops to advance to the foot of the mountain and set about attacking Maanling first.

It will be a year for Tian Weiye to serve as the captain of the city in Fuliang, and he is much more familiar with the surrounding counties than others; Han Li led his troops westward, and it was difficult to find a trusted guide from the local area, so Su Tingzhan ordered Tian Weiye He led the remnants with him and served as a staff officer for Han Li.

Han Li wanted to attack Maanling, but Tian Weiye persuaded him: "The enemy divided their troops to defend Maanling, which may be to lure our army to attack. At this time, our army is not stable. If we are attacking Maanling, the enemy will attack from behind , what should be done?"

"Do you think that the enemy general's clumsy strategy, Han will not be able to see it?" Han Li glanced at Tian Weiye contemptuously, knowing that he was afraid of fighting Chengziling, and said, "Maanling can't be defeated, How can we get a firm footing? Han is going to hit the Masaan Ridge and get the enemy troops to come out of the mountain, and just fight at the foot of the ridge!"

Ma'anling protects Qimen City to the east, and sits high above the source of the Changshui River.

Han Li led his troops eastward and approached Qimen City. In order to cut off the connection between Qimen City and the periphery, he wanted to camp at Maanling. In this way, Han Li and his troops can rely on the mountains and rivers, and Su Tingzhan can also transport supplies through the waterway.

Now that the Ganzhou advance army is divided into guarding Ma'anling, Han Li's previous plan will not work. If it is stationed elsewhere, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of completely blocking Qimen City. The ship is used to transport materials from Fuliang, and it will also be subject to Shangyuan. Su Tingzhan has long guessed that Huaidong must have an ambush between the mountains. Now that the Ganzhou advance army is divided into Maanling, which is at the corner of Qimen City, how can Han Li not guess such a division of troops The intention behind?

Han Li didn't think that Huaidong's troops who had sneaked into Gandong were strong. Otherwise, why wouldn't they attack Fuliang and disrupt the situation in Gandong? The current situation, no matter whether it is true or false, no matter whether the troops and horses that Huaidong sneaked in are strong or weak, Ma'anling must be taken down, otherwise it would be better to retreat to Fuliang and call the troops and horses that Huaidong sneaked in to lead Gan. East was messed up.

Han Li did not listen to Tian Weiye's advice, and only urged him to lead his troops to the surrounding villages to recruit the people to assist in attacking the ridge. ridge.

Tian Weiye knew that his words had no weight in front of Han Li, but he thought about it: Han Li's elite headquarters plus the miscellaneous soldiers he led would add up to a total of 3,000 soldiers. As long as you have three points left and don't go all out to attack Ma'an Ridge, even if Huaidong sneaks in, and there are still one or two thousand people hiding in the dark, there is no real threat, so there is no need to worry too much.

If it really doesn't work, you can form an array and stick to it, waiting for Su Tingzhan to lead his troops from Fuliang to help.

For three days after leaving Fuliang, Tian Weiye was also very troubled by the constant harassment of the troops and horses scattered among the mountains of the Eastern Jiangxi advance army. It's a pleasure to go out and fight.

Thinking about it, Tian Weiye didn't have any fear in his heart, that is, he led his troops to search for the mountain people to come over and attack the mountain, so as to reduce the consumption of his own troops and horses when they attacked the Saddle Mountain.

Naturally, Hu Qiaozhong did not allow Han Li to camp at the foot of the slope.

Two or three teams of soldiers descended along the mountain and along the ditch, using the mountains, rocks and trees to force the enemy's formation, or shooting with bows and arrows, or with knives and spears, and attacked the enemy's defensive formation on the periphery. Fight as a group to prevent the enemy from building a stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

It was just blocked by Yishan. In the early stage, it was mainly urgently transported from the Yidong area. Light and small weapons such as knives and bows, armour and other light weapons that were in short supply, as well as light and very important wound medicines and other materials, bed crossbows, scorpion crossbows, etc. were in short supply. , shield vehicles and other large and medium-sized warfare equipment has not had time to be transported in for the time being.

In the harassment battle surrounding the foot of Ma'an Ridge and interfering with the formation of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops, the two armies faced each other directly. Once the Jiangdong advance army can't take advantage of the weapons, and is even weaker than Han Li's elite in armor, it will be much more difficult to kill.

The backbone of the Gandong advance army was mostly Huaidong veterans, but the common sergeants were all brave and brave recruited from Gandong, and their combat power was even weaker than that of the Bamin soldiers from Han Li's headquarters who had been bloodbathed for many years.

Even if Yu Wencheng sent troops to cooperate in Qimen City, Hu Qiaozhong fought very hard and suffered heavy casualties. On the twelfth day, he had to call the soldiers and horses to completely retreat to the simple base at the top of the mountain. Han Li was able to calmly divide his troops and take turns to attack the top of the mountain.

The two sides competed for the foot of the ridge, and the casualties were over 100. Whether they could fight, or how much combat power they had, it was difficult to cheat - Han Li quickly found out the details of the guards at the top of the ridge.

As guessed, Huaidong sent a small number of elites to sneak in, and then lured some fools into the camp from Fuliang and other places, and hurriedly formed the Ganzhou advance army, not Huaidong directly dismantled the elites and sneaked in in batches.

Although Huaidong sent a small number of elites to form the skeleton of the military attache of the Ganzhou Advance Army, they already had the foundation of elite soldiers, but without training and running-in, there was still a big gap with the real Huaidong elite soldiers.

Han Li was the kind of general who became more and more courageous. Even though he suffered from the suffering of Huaidong soldiers in Liyang and on the east bank of Gucheng Lake, he had no fear in his heart. There is still a lot of distance between the pawns, how can he not dare to attack?

Han Li divided the elites of the headquarters into three teams, two teams sitting at the foot of the ridge to prepare for ambushes to attack from the side and rear, and one team wrapped in miscellaneous soldiers and civilians took turns to attack the top of the ridge. He was very skilled in mountain tactics, and combined with the tactics that he had stolen from the Huaidong Army in recent years, he nailed wooden signs from a large number of forced expedition unicycles in the countryside to serve as simple shield vehicles. Along the rainwater channel, we approach the Lingtou fortress.

Maanling is a rocky ridge. The higher the height, the more rocks and the thinner the soil layer. Only some shrubs and weeds grow on the ridge. The logging fence is used as a camp. The trench in front of the base was only a shallow one, and it was not more than ten feet deep.

The Zhejiang and Fujian troops forced the civilians to use cloth bags to hold the soil up the ridge and throw them into the ditch. There are four or five passages that can reach the fence.

The conditions were better than that of the Huaidong advance army. Han Li even brought three stone-throwing crossbows from Fuliang City with the army, mounted Lingtou, and attacked the fence. During the counterattack, three catapults were destroyed.

Hu Qiao defended Saddle Ridge in the middle. He was under great pressure from the beginning and played very hard...

****************

Lin Fu went south to supervise the battle, and Gao Zongting accompanied the military staff. The information from the eastern Jiangxi area was diverted through the Yijiang River and sent to Luzhou and Quzhou at the same time.

Lin Tie was in Quzhou, and it was not until March 14 that he learned that Hu Qiaozhong decided to fight with Han Li's troops who entered Qimen outside Qimen.

In the command hall of Fenglinbu, Lin Fu received the information handed over by Gao Zongting, frowned slightly after reading it, and said, "The Department of Military Intelligence had previously asked the Eastern side of Jiangxi to 'persist on harassment and harassment in the early stage and avoid premature battles', but this The strategy has not been well implemented - the battle at Chengziling was unprepared, and the battle at Qimen was unpredictable!"

Gao Zongting heard that Lin Fu was dissatisfied with the generals such as Hu Qiaozhong and the Yu brothers who did not implement the intention of the Military Intelligence Department after they went to Gandong. There are more than 4,000 horses, and a large number of people are attached; and Han Li led his troops east to Qimen, but there were only 3,000 people. The situation in eastern Gansu was favorable for our troops, and it was difficult for Hu, Yu and others to be patient. !"

Zhou Pu thought a little simpler and said: "The backbone of the troops and horses in Eastern Gansu are the veterans dispatched by Huaidong. If they are incorporated into the mountain hunters, it will be a little bit of running-in. If you have seen blood, you will be able to fight stronger and stronger. In the early years of Jiangdong Isn't that how the Zuo Jun fought? I think it's better to fight late than early, and the real fight on Gandong's side can relieve some of the pressure on this side."

Fu Qinghe understood Lin Fu's thoughts best, and said, "I don't know what happened to Uncle Pan Wen. As Pan Qifeng's youngest son, he was protected by his generals and avoided into the forest, but he insisted on standing up and summoning the old tribe to resist the extravagant family*. The person responsible; Qiao Zhong and the Yu brothers will not be weaker than Uncle Pan Wen - even if the early game is difficult, there will be no major problems."

After Fu Qinghe said this, Gao Zongting realized that Lin Fu was still worried that Hu Qiaozhong and the Yu brothers would suffer losses in Jiangzhou, which would be a huge loss to Huaidong, and said: "The Guanxiling side is also well prepared, The Changshan Army can officially press up and attack. As long as this side moves, Su Tingzhan can't calmly calculate the troops in eastern Jiangxi..."

"Guanxi Ridge has been prepared for a long time, and the main force of the Changshan Army has also entered the attack camp, and is waiting to advance to Shanxi and Hengshan Fortress. I think it is better to hit the sun and watch the sky. It will continue to be fine these days, just It's good to enter the army today to seal the stream!"

A lot of things are pulling one hair and moving the whole body.

What Hu Qiaozhong and the others have to face in Gandong is Su Tingzhan, a cunning opponent. Although Han Li is brave, it is not a serious problem - as long as the war on Shangrao's side becomes white-hot, even if Su Tingzhan is in Gandong again. Be patient, and the situation will not leave him too much time to make arrangements calmly.

Lin Fu nodded and said, "Let's go to the former camp and send people to call Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, Tang Fuguan, and the others too..."

First, a few cavalry and several people rushed out to communicate the generals of the various divisions~www.mtlnovel.com~Lin Fu and they rushed to the Guanxiling camp later.

Guanxi Ridge in the western border of Jiangshan County was still a barren mountain a few years ago. Except for the three beacon fire piers built by the luxury family on the ridge, and several empty villages at the foot of the mountain, there are no more people in the whole mountain. , but at this time Guanxi Ridge has become the main base for the Huaidong Army to advance to the frontier of Shangrao.

From Fenglin Port, entering the mountain is a rammed earth road for eight horses to drive side by side, extending directly to the foot of the eastern **** of Guanxi Mountain. From the foot of the **** to the gap on the ridge, almost the whole person was turned into a base, and a winding road was dug along the steep slope.

Although it is several times longer than the previous steep Yuxi Road, the Panshan Road can directly supply heavy carriages to transport materials up the mountain, making Guanxi Mountain no longer a natural barrier between Jiangshan County and Hengshan County. The front of the soldiers extended directly into Hengshan County, less than twenty miles away from Shangrao, which was nearly a hundred miles shorter than the attack from Changshan's pincer pass. In the past three months, a huge amount of investment has been made on Guanxi Ridge. The manpower and material resources are worth it. Otherwise, the jaws of the pass outside Changshan County have to bite the bullet and fight step by step, while She Feixiong is on the inside of the pass step by step, and the passage of hundreds of miles begins to fight. Not necessarily easy.

In this way, it can also make the fortresses built by the She family in the jaws and Litang Passes and Fortresses centered on Changshan City useless.
